Almost positive the black and yellow is CAC, I've had several the same color, just indecisive on the OP which could well be CA as well, guess I'm on the fence on that one. The yellow ones or electric yellow usually have a more vibrant white but there is an exception to every rule. I will admit I do see cutlines on the OP. Good discussion, I'm likin this

Another one. A pink based Pelt NLR, one of my first Pelts. I had no idea how rare it was until I had it auctioned off and it was gone. The pix give no justice to how pink it actually was.

Oxblood in glass is a deep, rich red color created by a copper compound that is fired under a lack of oxygen (reduction) during the firing process. This method produces a dark, often opaque red that can range from a deep maroon to a rich reddish-brown, and the exact color and quality depend on the precise control of the kiln temperature and atmosphere. Reduction firing: The glass containing copper is fired in a kiln with a limited supply of oxygen. Oxygen-starved environment: This "reduction" atmosphere prevents the oxygen from fully oxidizing the copper, which is necessary to achieve the desired red color. Temperature control: The key to making good oxblood is the precise temperature at which the reduction begins. If the reduction starts too early, the glaze can turn a dull red. If it starts too late, the red color may not appear at all, resulting in a clear glaze. Characteristics of oxblood glass Color: It's a deep, dark red with hints of brown, resembling maroon or burgundy. Opacity: Oxblood glass is often opaque, though it can appear translucent in areas where it is spread very thinly. Appearance: The color can be dense and may be concentrated near the surface or run through the core of the glass object, depending on the manufacturing process. Applications: It is used in various glass objects, such as marbles, pottery glazes, and architectural glass, with its value often tied to the skill used to create it. Oxblood can also dive into the matrix of the marble, not restricted to the surface. Surface oxblood examples :
